About HEALTH CITY

The guiding principle: health in cities as a common good Health is no longer just an "individual good" but a "common good" that calls on each person to adopt virtuous behaviors based on mutual respect. The common good is therefore a goal to be pursued by both citizens and mayors and local administrators who must act as guarantors of fair and harmonious healthcare, ensuring that the health of the community is considered an investment and not just a cost. The organization of the city, and more generally of contemporary social and environmental contexts, is capable of conditioning and modifying emerging needs, lifestyles, and individual expectations, factors that should be considered in the definition and orientation of public policies.
